Let’s get real. Are you ???????????? more productive when you work from home? The impact of remote work is far from clear-cut. For every study suggesting that working from home reduces productivity, there’s another arguing the opposite. So, what’s the deal with remote work?

Not all meetings are productive ??

DeskTime is changing for the better ?? Last year, when the Sabiedrības integrācijas fonds/ Society Integration Foundation Republic of Latvia awarded us the Open to Diversity Bronze status, we were proud to be acknowledged for our efforts, but we knew it was just a starting point—a reminder that there was still room to grow and improve our office and team culture. We’re thrilled to announce that after a year of improvements, DeskTime has received the Open to Diversity Silver status. This reaffirms our commitment as a company that embraces diversity and seeks to make a meaningful contribution to building an inclusive society. P.S. Shoutout to our Draugiem Group friends Mapon, Printful, and Vendon, who also received this recognition! What are achievements for if you can’t share them with friends? ??

?? Happy birthday to… well, us! Last weekend DeskTime celebrated its 13th birthday with a quick weekend trip to beautiful Vilnius. Good food, good company, and a city with a ton of sights to see—the perfect recipe for a perfect birthday.?

???? DeskTime is a company with Latvian origins—and we’re proud of it. Today, we celebrate Latvia’s Independence Day. We are deeply grateful to be part of the small but mighty Latvian IT sector and to have the privilege of working alongside some of the nation’s finest professionals. Best wishes from the whole DeskTime team! Saules mū?u Latvijai!

Our office yapper is back! Let's face it—working in an office can be full of distractions. Here are a few tips to help you cut through the noise and find the right time to lock in: ?? Work from home: If you have tasks that need deep focus, do them at home, where you can enjoy a quieter, distraction-free environment. ?? Set "focus time" boundaries: Block off time each day for uninterrupted work so you can do your most important projects without interruptions. ?? Use noise-canceling headphones: Pop on a pair of noise-canceling headphones to help stay in the zone, even when things get lively around you.

A culture of fairness and support. That's the name of the game at DeskTime. And it’s much more than team-building events or pizza Fridays at the office. It’s about giving your employees a healthy work-life balance and making sure everyone on the team is compensated fairly for the work they do.
